Connecting the Cables

2.Connect the Power Cord. Connect the power adapter to the access point, and the power cord to an AC power outlet. Otherwise, the access point can derive its operating power directly from the RJ‐45 port when connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Caution: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with this access point. Otherwise, the product may be damaged.

Precaución: SÓLO se debe utilizar el adaptador de corriente que fue incluido con este punto de acceso. De lo contrario, el producto podría dañarse.

Achtung: Verwenden Sie AUSSCHLIESSLICH das im Lieferumfang enthaltene Netzteil für diesen Access Point. Anderenfalls besteht die Gefahr, dass das Produkt beschädigt wird.

3.Observe the Self Test. When you power on the access point, verify that the PWR indicator stops flashing and remains on, and that the other indicators start functioning as described under “LED Indicators” on page 1‐3. If the PWR LED does not stop flashing, the self test has not completed correctly.

4.Position the Antennas. The antennas emit signals along a plane perpendicular to the antenna (with the propagation pattern shaped as a toroidal sphere), and provide more effective coverage when positioned along different axes. For example, you might position the antennas 45 to 90 degrees from each other.

The access point also compares the strength of an incoming signal on both antennas, and uses the antenna receiving the stronger signal to communicate with a wireless client.

5.Place the plastic cover over the access point (if you are not using the console cable), and then snap it in place.

6.Lock the access point in place (optional). To prevent unauthorized removal of the access point, you can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access point to a fixed object

7.Proceed to Chapter 3 to configure the Access Point 3000.
